The government and the Opposition have agreed to debate the JNU controversy in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Day 2 of Parliament's Budget session. At a meeting on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message to BJP lawmakers was -- "debate aggressively".
While a united opposition plans to target the government over JNU students being charged with sedition for an event earlier this month where anti-India slogans were raised, the government is also preparing an aggressive response.
"The government is working fine and has a lot to show. The Opposition is raking up non-issues like JNU and the party needs to debate and contest aggressively," PM Modi is said to have told BJP's top leaders in Parliament on Tuesday.
The Rajya Sabha will also discuss on Wednesday the suicide of research scholar Rohith Vemula at the Hyderabad Central University last month, another issue that the opposition plans to attack the government on.
